Vol. 540 No. 3
73 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if a holiday visa to visit here will issue to a person (details supplied) in Thailand who wishes to holiday here for one month from 11 September 2001 to 11 October 2001; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20806/01]
No application for a visa from the person named by the Deputy has yet been received by the Irish Consulate in Bangkok. As soon as an application is received it will be referred by my Department to the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform which takes decisions concerning applications for visas from foreign nationals wishing to come to Ireland on holidays. If the application is approved the Consulate in Bangkok will issue a visa.
